ADUS
____
These versatile living spaces are gaining popularity, especially in areas where housing is scarce. These are also known as backyard cottages, granny flats, laneway houses, or DADUs, depending on local regulations. They are stand-alone structures built on the same lot as a single-family home, often in the back or side yard.
- Rental Income: Many homeowners use ADUs as rental properties.
- Multi-Generational Living: ADUs provide separate living quarters for adult children, extended family, or aging parents.
- Work-From-Home Space: Create a dedicated home office or studio.
- Escape or Home-Based Business: Use the ADU as a retreat or for running a business.
- Before you start planning, check with your local city or county department that oversees planning, construction, or zoning. Regulations vary, and some areas have made it easier to build ADUs to address housing shortages.
- If your home falls under a homeowners association (HOA), review their rules as well.
- In California, recent laws allow people to buy and sell ADUs like condominiums
ADUs are typically built with cost-effective wood frame construction, which is significantly less costly than new multifamily infill buildings. If your are planning to build one, please consider contacting a professional. At Jari Construction we’ll guide you through the entire process.
